Namemycofactocin system
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionThis Genome Property describes the proposed mycofactocin system, in which the four absolutely conserved elements are a radical SAM protein, a glycosyltransferase, a small protein with a strongly conserved central motif, and a very small protein with an invariant C-terminal motif GCVY. This last component, the proposed mycofactocin precursor MftA, often is not apparent because of faulty gene calling. Species with this system in addition always have at least a few examples (usually co-clustered) of nicotinoproteins with tightly bound NAD(P) cofactors that cannot be exchanged, requiring an extrinsic mechanism (such as the artifical electron acceptor NDMA) to be able to cycle. Mycofactocin is proposed to undergo modification and become the required electron exchange cofactor.
